AMD Ryzen 7 8700G vs Intel Core 3 201TE Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark comparison between the AMD Ryzen 7 8700G and the Intel Core 3 201TE is one-sided, but only because the database contains no recorded benchmark scores for the Intel part. The Core 3 201TE has an empty benchmark array, meaning no measurements exist across any of the standard test suites. The Ryzen 7 8700G, by contrast, has a full set of recorded scores spanning 3DMark, Cinebench, Geekbench, and Passmark workloads.

The Ryzen 7 8700G posts a 3DMark max-threads score of 7917, with the 16-thread test nearly identical at 7918. The 8-thread test reaches 6589, the 4-thread test hits 3825, and the 2-thread test lands at 1978. Single-thread performance in 3DMark is 1010. In Cinebench R23, the multicore score is 17128 and the single-core score is 1817. The older Cinebench R15 test shows 2693 multicore and 286 single-core. Geekbench results are 14584 multicore and 2337 single-core.

Passmark results for the Ryzen 7 8700G show 31690 in multithread and 3928 in both single-thread and singlethread tests. Integer math scores 103107, floating-point math scores 63815, extended instructions score 29067, and data encryption scores 22842. Data compression reaches 386811, random string sorting is 46025, physics is 1647, and find prime numbers is 103.

Because the Intel Core 3 201TE has no recorded scores, there are no direct deltas to report. The Ryzen 7 8700G's average benchmark score is 33089, placing it in the 83rd percentile of all CPUs in the database. The Core 3 201TE sits at the 50th percentile with an average score of 0. The absence of data for the Intel part means every head-to-head comparison in this section is effectively a default win for the AMD processor.

The nearest rivals for the Ryzen 7 8700G help contextualize its performance. The Intel Core i7-13650HX matches its average score exactly at 33089 with a delta of 0 percent. The AMD Ryzen 7 7745HX scores 33091, a delta of 0 percent. The AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D scores 33079, also 0 percent. The AMD Ryzen 9 PRO 6950H scores 33201, which is 0.3 percent ahead. These near-identical averages show the Ryzen 7 8700G slots into a tightly packed performance cluster despite its integrated graphics focus.

Architecture Differences

The two processors come from different manufacturers and design philosophies. The AMD Ryzen 7 8700G uses the Zen 4 architecture under the Phoenix codename and belongs to the 8000 series. It is built on a 4 nm process at TSMC with 25,000 million transistors on a 178 mm² die. The Intel Core 3 201TE uses the Bartlett Lake codename, belongs to the Core 3 generation, and is built on a 10 nm process at Intel with a 163 mm² die size. No transistor count is recorded for the Intel part.

Core and thread counts differ substantially. The Ryzen 7 8700G has 8 cores and 16 threads. The Core 3 201TE has 4 cores and 8 threads. Clock speeds also favor AMD: the Ryzen 7 8700G has a base clock of 4.20 GHz and a boost clock of 5.10 GHz, while the Core 3 201TE has a base of 2.90 GHz and a boost of 4.60 GHz. The power envelopes differ, with the AMD part rated at 65 W TDP and the Intel part at 45 W TDP.

Cache layouts are notably different. The Ryzen 7 8700G has 64 KB of L1 cache per core, 1 MB of L2 per core, and 16 MB of shared L3. The Core 3 201TE has 80 KB of L1 per core, 1.25 MB of L2 per core, and 12 MB of shared L3. The Intel design allocates more cache per core, but the AMD design has a larger total L3 pool.

Memory support diverges. The Ryzen 7 8700G supports DDR5 only, with dual-channel memory and a recorded bandwidth of 83.2 GB/s. ECC memory is not supported. The Core 3 201TE supports both DDR4 and DDR5, also dual-channel, with a bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s. ECC memory is supported on the Intel part. PCIe connectivity also differs: the AMD chip uses Gen 4 with 20 lanes from the CPU, while the Intel chip uses Gen 5 with 16 lanes from the CPU.

Integrated graphics differ in tier. The Ryzen 7 8700G carries the Radeon 780M, while the Core 3 201TE carries UHD Graphics 730. Both processors target desktop use and are listed as active in production. The Ryzen 7 8700G has an unlocked multiplier; the Core 3 201TE does not. The AMD part uses AMD Socket AM5, and the Intel part uses Intel Socket 1700.

The release dates are about a year apart. The Ryzen 7 8700G was released on January 7, 2024, and the Core 3 201TE on January 12, 2025. The AMD chip lists a launch MSRP of $329, and the Intel chip lists a launch MSRP of $134.

Where Each One Wins

The Ryzen 7 8700G wins on every measured benchmark category because it is the only one of the two with recorded data. Its 8-core, 16-thread configuration with boost clocks up to 5.10 GHz gives it a clear structural advantage in multithreaded workloads. The Cinebench R23 multicore score of 17128 and Geekbench multicore score of 14584 reflect that core count advantage.

For single-threaded tasks, the Ryzen 7 8700G shows a 3DMark single-thread score of 1010, a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 1817, and a Geekbench single-core score of 2337. Passmark single-thread and singlethread scores both sit at 3928. The higher boost clock of 5.10 GHz compared to 4.60 GHz contributes to these results.

The integrated Radeon 780M in the Ryzen 7 8700G positions it for systems that rely on the CPU's graphics output. The Core 3 201TE counters with UHD Graphics 730, a more modest integrated solution. For workloads that depend on CPU compute alone, the Ryzen 7 8700G has the advantage of more cores, higher clocks, and a newer process node.

The Core 3 201TE does hold advantages in specific areas that do not appear in benchmark scores. It supports ECC memory, which the Ryzen 7 8700G does not. It also supports both DDR4 and DDR5 memory, while the AMD part is DDR5-only. The Intel chip has a lower TDP of 45 W against 65 W for the AMD chip. PCIe Gen 5 support on the Intel part provides a newer interconnect standard, although with fewer lanes at 16 compared to 20.

The launch MSRP difference is substantial, but the database records no performance data for the Intel part, so no efficiency or price-to-performance analysis can be made from measurements. The Ryzen 7 8700G sits at the 83rd percentile of all CPUs, while the Core 3 201TE sits at the 50th percentile, a gap that reflects both the lack of scores and the lower core count.
